She Wears Butterflies In Her Hair by Lynne Moncrieff

This
art shrine is another sample made for HOCHANDA, where I decided to combine some
of the earlier Bits ‘n’ Pieces Greyboard, the sweet butterflies with the art
shrine which was being showcased on HOCHANDA.

The Art
Shrines were a product which instantly appealed to me from when they were first
launched. They work for all styles,
themes and perfect for Mixed Media.

Instructions

Assemble
art shrine then apply Gesso. Onto craft
sheet, apply paints, then press art shrine into the paints. It is messy but I’m
okay with messy! Repeat this step for
the butterflies, butterfly wings and MDF tag.

Stain
floral fabric and ensure it is dry before adhering into recess of shrine. I leave the fabric to dry naturally and what
I tend to do is stain items last thing at night and leave to dry overnight and
I know it will definitely be ready for the next time I can give attention to
it.

Stamp
rainbow directly onto face of shrine. Now, create the little butterfly girl by cutting the prepared large
butterfly wings in half, placing behind fussy cut collage image. Add snippets from vintage doily, including a
floral motif placed in her hair, then layer the prepared butterflies. Add a butterfly to her neckline.

Stamp
Affirmation onto old book page, the margin of it. Cut into word tiles, layering onto scraps of
the stained fabric, adhering to the prepared tag. * Attach a thin piece of fabric to suspend
the tag and place the ends of the fabric behind the butterfly girl*

To
bottom edge, layer piece of the crochet doily, layering butterflies in corner
of shrine.
